We do the Research

We make sure policymakers and the public have the facts. We track data on how kids and families are doing, provide practical analysis of issues and policies that affect children and families, and showing what needs to be done to support their healthy development.

KIDS COUNT

KIDS COUNT is a national and state-by-state project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation to track the status of children in the United States. At the national level, the principal activity of the initiative is the publication of the annual KIDS COUNT Data Book, which uses the best available data to measure the educational, social, economic, and physical well-being of children state by state. The Foundation also funds a national network of state-level KIDS COUNT projects, including Vermont KIDS COUNT, that provide a more detailed, county-by-county picture of the condition of children.

National KIDS COUNT

The National KIDS COUNT project tracks a wide range of indicators of child and youth well-being. Each year, the National KIDS COUNT project publishes the KIDS COUNT Data Book. The Data Book explores the well-being of children and youth at the national and state level, making state-by-state comparisons and highlighting trends in the status of our children. Additionally, the national KIDS COUNT Data Centerhosts interactive data nationally and for each state (highlighted in the KIDS COUNT Data Book), as well as local data provided by the grantee organization in each state. Voices for Vermont’s Children is the KIDS COUNT grantee for Vermont.
